local officers investigators.
The Police department would like

What is an emergency?
Health care services fall into sev
eral categories, which help deter
mine priority in care. Emergencies
will always take top priority.
An emergency require immediate
attention. It is a serious situation that
arises suddenly and threatens the life
of an individual or a group of people.
CPR and other life saving measures
may be necessary. It may be the re
sult of injury or illness such as motor
vehicles accidents or heart attack. If
any emergency comes to the clinic it
takes priority and may delay other
outgoing clinic activities.
Urgent conditions are often con
fused with emergency situations.
These problems that need attention
as soon as possible, are not life threat
ening but could be without care. Res
piratory symptoms, cuts and broken
bones can fall into this category.
These situations that would be cared
for through the same day appoint
ment system.
Acute illness or less serious in
jury (such as sprains, strains, bruises)
is also a sudden onset of symptoms
but not life threatening. There may
be severe discomfort or pain related
to the symptoms. They may be seen
the same day when openings are
available but often comfort measures
will be given until an appointment
can be made within the next day or
two.
The times when appointments are
delayed due to emergencies are an
unavoidable situation and we ask for
your understanding. It could be you
or your family member needing medi
cal attention.
Chronic problems are not sud
den onset they have been going on
for a longer time. They develop
slow ly and persist over a long period
of time, often for the remainder of an
individuals lifetime. These problems
have been diagnosed and a treatment
given. Future appointments are the
best way to handle these problems.
They should be followed with the
same provider who understands your
three subjects plead not guilty and
were held in the corrections facility
on $2500.00 bail each. Later, two of
the subjects changed their plea to
guilty and were released after being
sentenced to a fine, suspended jail
time, and ordered to supervised pro
bation. Investigation continues and more
arrests are expected.

Chcle Paye, "I would pay off all
my bills, set up a college fund for my
nieces and nephews, travel every
where and buy a new hat."
Tray Leonard, "The first thing
I'd do if I won the lottery would be to
pay all my bills. I would than make
sure that my family and my wife's
family would be financially set. I'd
make sure that my kids would also
have money set aside for college or
other education needs. I would have
my parents retire and do as they
pleased without any worries. With
my lottery winnings, I would invest
in stocks, bonds, and would start a
business of some kind. I would donate
some of the money for community
youth education as well as commu
nity youth activities. I would make
arrangements to have all my family
members travel on a cruise to where
ever they wanted to go. I would make
sure my little family and I would
travel to Disney World in our brand
new top of the line motor Home."
Vicki Decker, "What would I do
if I won the lottery? That is a game
my daughters and I have played many
times, discussing what we would do.
It's difficult to think in terms of
having an unlimited amount of fi
nancial resources if one has never
grown up that way as it would require
an entire change of how one sees
themselves in the world. I suppose
my first step would be to take an
early retirement and establish a means
of protecting the assets by getting a
financial advisor and learning about
investing. I probably then would take
my grandchildren to the country
where my family is from and learn
more about our history. I believe I
would do a great deal of traveling as
well as returning to school to study
ethics. There are many organizations
whose goal is working toward es
tablishing world unity and world
peace and this is where my focus
would move toward. In all honesty,
however, I think the first thing I
probably do is buy a new car."
Tama Langnese, "Let me see,
The Oregon Lottery is now over $20
million dollars. Well to begin with.
I'd probably take half of my winnings
and invest it in something. The rest,
I'd just live and spend it anyway I'd
choose to."

Tony Thompson, "If I won the
lottery, the first thing I'd do would
be to pay all my bills as well as my
immediate family bills. I would then
buy everyone in my family a brand
new car or a brand new house of
choice. I would also donate some of
my winnings to local churches and to
our long houses and to the homeless.
I would make arrangements for my
family to travel on a vacation of thicr
choice. A few of my friends and I
would travel the world, have a good
time, enjoy life without any worries.
The rest of my lottery winnings would
stay in the bank and collect interest
so that I could use as I please."
AC
Anson Begay, "First of all I would
be very thankful for what I received.
I would see that my family be fi
nancially set for life. Then my money
manager and I would invest money
into millions then divide them into
more invested millions. I would look
into building a small business enter
prise on the west coast of about 20
outlets over time which would con
venience peoples needs. I would build
an indoor facility which would ac
commodate mini-concerts, confer
ences, sporting events, trade, horse,
auto, boat, and gun shows, etc. On
the lighter side of things, I would like
to buy a real nice rifle for hunting and
a box of ropes without my wife telling
me something on how much they
cost. I would see that I never have to
haul hay again, I would hire my
cousin C.Q. I hear he has wash boards
on his back. And last of all I think I
might quit my job. Are you kidding,
as soon as I'd confirmed the numbers
on my lottery ticket, I would be on
the phone to headquarters! YEAH! ! !
Judy L. Keane, "I would be
generous to my creditors, generous
to my family, finish the remodeling
of our home, and make elaborate
travel plans."
John Brown III, "First and
foremost, I'd thank God for the
generous blessing and the first order
of business with my huge fortune
would be to feed all the starving
people in the Third World countries,
"NOT"! I'd definitely call it an early
retirement at 30'ish and start spend
ing some money. Of course, the nice
guy that I am, I'd also financially
take care of Immediate family
member's then I'd probably share
some of my wealth with those that
helped me through the years. Last
but not least, I'd donate to programs
such as the one that I'm employed
with and help out in anyway that I
can. Finally, once everything is said
and done, I'll move down to the coast
of Mexico and live like a King and
hire a mansion full of maids, you get
the picture!"
